Über diesen Titel

A captivating story of the people who shape us and the places we struggle to leave behind.

Katie, Maeve and Evelyn - friends forever, united by their childhood games and their dreams of escaping the tiny Irish town of Glenbruff.

Outspoken, unpredictable and intoxicating, Evelyn is the undisputed leader of the trio. That is, until the beautiful, bold Pamela Cooney arrives from Dublin and changes Glenbruff forever.

Told from Katie's witty, quirky perspective, Frances Macken's debut beautifully captures life in a small town and the power of yearning for something bigger. Filled with unforgettable characters and crackling dialogue, You Have to Make Your Own Fun Around Here takes a keen-eyed look at the complexities of female friendship, the corrosive power of jealousy and guilt and the way that life can quietly erode our dreams unless we're willing to fight for them.

Kritikerstimmen

'This atmospheric debut looks like a rural Irish coming-of-age novel, but it’s cleverer, darker, more unreliable' (Daily Mail)
'You Have to Make Your Own Fun Around Here vividly captures life in a close-knit community, while examining the intricacies and anxieties of female friendship … Katie is a vibrant creation, whose insights are often fresh and startling … The ups-and-downs of going places is ultimately what makes the narrative come to life' (Irish Times)
'Frances Macken's You Have To Make Your Own Fun Around Here charts the friendship of three small-town girls from their childhoods through to their early careers, exploring envy and self-belief with consistent, natural humour and spot-on observations.' (Caoilinn Hughes, author of Orchid & the Wasp)

A story I think you could have made more out of. The book is a very good portrayal of female friendship, however I was waiting for anything really exciting to happen.

Deep but a bit dull in between
